Dedicated power circuit


I am new to high-end audio and basically a skeptic. I never would have believed that cables and interconnects could make a significant difference in the sound of a system. After one year of experimenting, I have seen that the right cables can make a huge sonic difference.

My small system (Plinius 8150, Creek CD-43, B&W Matrix 803, Harmonic Tech Truthlinks and Pro-9s, Powersnake Black Mamba and JPS Digital PC). The system is connected to a 15 amp circuit that is not used by any other loads (although other outlets, etc. are on the circuit). I am using a Hubbell hospital-grade outlet.

I'm considering installing a dedicated 20 amp circuit.

My questions: Is this an important upgrade? If so, is there a special romex-type cable that I should use for the 60' run to my main panel?

Thanks for your advice.

Evo & Bob b, more details please. Are the fuses you are using standard cartridge type or edison base screw ins? Is there manufacturer or model number listed on the fuse box? Also please detail how the fuses are connected to the main supply. Is there a circuit breaker(s) installed somewhere between the fuses and main lines?

Caution note to DIYers, most 20 amp recepticles accept a maximun of 10 gage wire. The recepticle may not be mechanically strong enough to hold up to the mechanical strains of installing larger gage cable.
